THE HOME-WORKING REVOLUTION
GREETING, LOYAL READERS. The Maximum PC team remains in lockdown at the time of writing, but with the aid of technology we’re adapting to our new working environment, and a host of apps, services, and specialized hardware is making it easier than ever.
This is leading toward a time where working from home is the preferred option for many, whether they’ve experienced it recently or have been fighting for it for years. Corporations and employees alike are finding that their jobs can, in fact, be done remotely.
We’re here to help you work from home, whether that’s during this accursed pandemic or beyond it. From the best ergonomic peripherals to the right way to use that video chat software your boss has been demanding you use, there are plenty of ways you can make your working-from-home lifestyle easier, more efficient, and more comfortable.
In this feature, we’ll be covering the key apps and programs you’ll need to stay connected to the outside world as you work from the comfort and safety of your own domicile. We’ll take you through the hardware you might want, and the tips and tricks you’ll need to keep your home functioning as a healthy work environment. We’re also going to take a look at desktop work PCs, and how you can easily and cheaply build a system that’s perfect for working from home.
Above all, we’d like to take this chance to thank all our readers for supporting us during this time. Producing the magazine from our respective homes has been an interesting experience, to say the least. Maximum PC benefits from a truly international team, both full-time and freelance, many of whom already work from home, and now we’re eager to return the favor. So strap in (to your desk chairs), and let’s go.
